Waterfront Strata Balcony Beam
Balcony beam & soffit — Drummoyne, NSW.
Project Overview
THE PROBLEM
Deep spalling and corrosion affected the waterfront balcony beam, including its front face and underside.
THE REPAIR
Unsound concrete was broken out, reinforcement treated and the beam edges and soffit reinstated with repair mortar.
THE OUTCOME
The damaged beam profile was rebuilt and the exposed reinforcement was covered by a consistent repair finish.
SITE CONDITIONS
Waterfront exposure, elevated access and the occupied building required staged repair zones.
Before & After
A Controlled Remedial Process
The repair sequence responds to the condition of the concrete, access constraints and surrounding site activity.
Inspection & Defect Mapping
Inspect the affected areas and establish the extent of concrete deterioration before planning access and repair zones.
Controlled Concrete Breakout
Remove unsound concrete back to a suitable substrate while protecting adjoining surfaces and the surrounding work area.
Reinforcement Treatment
Clean and assess exposed reinforcement, with any further steel repairs determined from its condition.
Structural Reinstatement
Place compatible repair mortar and reinstate the concrete profile to the specified repair detail.
Repair Finishing & Curing
Finish the repair faces and cure the material in accordance with the selected repair system.
Final Inspection
Check the repaired areas and remove work-zone protection when the repair and access requirements allow.
